It was discussed that Erik Weihenmayer co-authored this book. It discussed the concept of uniting challenges to create a sense of shared experience among humanity and how to lean on each other to learn from our struggles.
Yeah for sure and I find humans are very similar you know kids going through any kind of struggle I mean you might be blind or you might struggle with depression I mean obviously those are different things but when you get really deep down the feelings that you have about them the psychological stuff that happens around that challenge are very very similar and so one of the premises behind no barriers is to unite that umbrella group of challenges and say hey you know when we have successes we feel pretty proud and egotistical but when we have challenge it's kind of something that unites us as human beings and how do you lean into each other and try to figure out how to learn from each other you know to learn some cool things about each other about each other's challenges and also figure out what we all have in common what every human being has in common when you struggle through life

Yeah for sure and I find humans are very similar you know kids going through any kind of struggle I mean you might be blind or you might struggle with depression I mean obviously those are different things but when you get really deep down the feelings that you have about them the psychological stuff that happens around that challenge are very very similar and so one of the premises behind no barriers is to unite that umbrella group of challenges and say hey you know when we have successes we feel pretty proud and egotistical but when we have challenge it's kind of something that unites us as human beings and how do you lean into each other and try to figure out how to learn from each other you know to learn some cool things about each other about each other's challenges and also figure out what we all have in common what every human being has in common when you struggle through life that to me is a super powerful feeling to walk away from a trip with that kind of connection with these kids we visited you know disability schools and in that area in a school for the deaf and to be honest American kids no matter what your disability is you're pretty darn fortunate.
